Question

Which of the following is an example of present indefinite tense?

• A. I went to office yesterday.
• B. I go to office everyday
• C. I had been to office
• D. I am going to office

Answer 1

The correct option is B I go to office everyday

Option B: The present indefinite tense, or the simple present tense, expresses a daily habit, or a general truth. From these options, 'I go to office everyday' states a daily habit or routine. 'Go' is a simple present tense verb.

Hence it is an example of present indefinite tense and option B is correct.

Option A: 'Went' is a simple past tense verb and this option states an action that happened in the past 'yesterday'.

Option C: 'Had been' is in the past perfect tense and this option states an action that has completed in the past, before another action that took place in the past as well (sequence of events in the past).

Option D: 'Am going' is in the present continuous tense and states an action that is yet to happen.

These options do not state a routine or general truth (present indefinite).

Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
